Happy (?) birthday

Wow - this time a year ago I was in labour with my beautiful baby girl.

In fact, I think it was about this time exactly a year ago that I was on my way to the hospital. So that makes it kinda ironic that I'll be on my way there again in a minute...

I'll never forget the day I gave birthday to my daughter. I was terrified. I know all expectant mums say that... but I truly was absolutely petrified.

Particular quotes that I remember from that day -
Me to baby girl's daddy: "I've had enough now, it's your turn."
Me to one of the nurses: "When can I go home?"
Me: "I just want to go now..."
Afterwards, when I was being stitched up: "Fuck off, you sadist bitch!" Feisty!

It was all worth it. More than worth it. We were blessed on this day a year ago with the most beautiful daughter. And I wouldn't change a thing about her.

We've had an early start today, opening pressies and having her favourite breakfast... pancakes courtesy of her grandpops!

Now I have to get dressed and ready for a hospital trip.

Chemo Day.
